We really want to have them either come to school to maybe give a lecture focusing on the carbon fibers, and talk about the technology developed to acquire such an important material which are the Carbon fibers. http://www.metropolismag.com/story/20030201/carbon-fiber-future

Peter Testa & The Carbon Tower

We have started doing extensive research about Peter Testa Architect, and its most remarkable work, The Carbon Tower. As its main material use, he experiments with a new material that is new to construction Carbon Fiber. 








Material Research


As our first focus we were indecisive on which material to choose, so here in this post we show three materials that deal with Nanotechnology+Architecture. Our main focus is that the material is applicable in architecture, making a significant change in how we see architectural construction.
